If you could post a photo it would be easier... or get a fern book from the library, or look at the fern display at nurseries.

Razorback: Sorry I'm so late...just noticed your post.

Perhaps you have a Jimmy Dyce Broad Wood Fern (Dryopteris dilatata 'Jimmy Dyce'. This is an English cultivar; hardy to zones 4-8; broad triangular bluish-green stiff upright fronds; grows 24-48 inches. I haven't tried this particular fern, but they're quite handsome.

Sorry, Razorback. I meant to address Jen26 with my response re the Jimmy Dyce Broad Wood Fern.

Ladybugontario...that is EXACTLY what I bought! Thank you so much!!!!!

Jen26....Lucky you! I tried 4 D. dilatatas just last year, although they are not 'Jimmy Dyce'. All 4 are doing wonderfully well. Zone 5 - cold winters, pretty hot humid summers, lots of compost, water every 4 days, growing happily in the shade of a very large sugar maple. Their fine leathery foliage is a beautiful contrast to Ostrich, Marginal Wood, Royal, and 'Ghost' Athyrium ferns. Over winter, I mulched them heavily with finely shredded leaves. In spring, I opened the leaves up a bit to let the sun in, but mixed the leaves right into the soil where they had over-wintered. These ferns were the last of my many ferns to show new spring growth, and just when I was starting to fret, up they popped! Very tiny fiddleheads. Right now, they are gorgeous. Enjoy!
